| | | | What is “holy” land? Can a place be uniquely holy? Holy means separate; therefore, only God is holy. Things are not naturally holy. However, God imparts holiness to whatever is set apart for God’s use and to those who use them. According to the Jewish Bible God’s name, garments, vessels, places where the vessels are kept, the house of God, temple mount, city of Jerusalem, tithe, priests and Nazirites, Sabbath, Ark of the Covenant are holy.
The New Testament declares as holy the Christian calling, faith, sacrifice, John the Baptist, Christians, Christian children. And the scriptures. However, the scriptures would apply only to the Jewish Bible because the Christian Bible had not yet been written. The apostle Paul points out that holiness is spiritual and... | | | | | | | Sunday, July 13, 2008 1:32PM | | | | Is Class Replacing Species? | Tags: Pill-Popping Pets. Prozac, Nazis, Jewish Dog, Class, Pets
| | | I would be interested in reactions to the cover-article in today's (Sunday, July 13) New York Times Magazine entitled "Pill-Popping Pets" by James Vlahos, which you may find on the web at:
To summarize, pets now share the various phobias and neuroses that have become part of middle-class life, and they are being medicated accordingly, with Prozac and a vast range of anti-depressants and chemicals for behavior modification. As we already know, amenities now offered to pets, especially dogs, include jewelry, designer fashions, luxury hotels, plastic surgery, gourmet foods, spas, psychiatrists, and so on. I am seriously wondering if class could in many replace species as the major division among us. To put in another way, upper class dogs would move in circles with upper class women... | | | | | | | Saturday, May 31, 2008 9:57PM | | | | Slouching Toward Zion, Part IV | Tags: religion, Christian, Arab, Jew, Baptist, Missionary, Christ, scripture, Satan

When Thurston and Elaine returned to Chillicothe from their visit to the Middle East they were changed forever. Elaine, who had never before traveled farther than Wichita Falls had a spiritual, intellectual and gynecological experience.
Thurston, who had chosen the gastronomical rather than the cultural tour, had experienced delight, dismay and diarrhea. He had discovered Arab cuisine. She had discovered what her gender meant.
Elaine had been born a woman and in... | | | | | | | Wednesday, May 14, 2008 11:20PM | | | | Slouching Toward Zion, Part II | Tags: Jews, Baptists, Moses, Jesus, bible, pastor, fornication, adultry
| | | When Thurston and Elaine met Brother Jerry in Tel Aviv he was exactly what they had expected. Thurston expected he would be ponderous as befitted a Senator, CEO, college president, or preacher. Elaine expected he would be fulsome as befitted a Senator, CEO, college president, or preacher. Israel was not what they expected.
Chillicothe is dry, yea, verily, arid. Bereft of water, devoid of alcohol, more familiar with droughts than drams. In Chillicothe gobbles were more popular than gulps. For an orgy, Thurston and Elaine went to the “all the spaghetti you can eat” fund-raiser for the Lion’s Club.

For the Love of Agape or Eros Without Error
A Religious Sex Shop
The monotheistic religions agree that begetting is God’s chosen method of human duplication and that the Creator made an almighty mistake. A better choice would have been clay-molding, rib-taking or zeroxing which are more hygienic, less disruptive and not impregnated with sin.
Because of God’s mistake the monotheistic religions require or at least desire their followers to be sexual novices before the consecration of marriage. They want the participants--one male, one female--to come to the union as amateurs, without apprenticeship or probationary period, and to approach the hymeneal altar as neophytes. This would seem to require... | | | | | |
